a The NRC recently provided Public Citizen with a list of LERs which were filed by commercial nuclear power plant licensees for the operating year 1986.
The LERs are numbered sequentially, yet come that should logically be included, were not.
Thus, Public I

Records reconciling these issues are not in the NRC's Public

Document Room, so Public Citizen expects a detailed response.
This request pertains to all records in the possession of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NBC), its licensees, or in the
{
possession of contractors or subcontractors of the NRC or its I
licensees.
l In this request, " record" includes, but is not limited to, any memoranda, formal or informal correspondence, reports, studies, reviews, letters, computer memories and printouts, information transfer systems, audio and video tapes, movies and any other form of communication, in the possession of any individual or office in the NRC, whether generated by the NRC, its contractors, the nuclear industry or any other source.
Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project is a nationally known non-profit public interest organization founded in 1974, we will use these documents in our studies of nuclear power safety, and we will disseminate and distribute the information contained therein to the press and public.
Public Citizen's annual Nuclear Power Safety Report, and its numerous other publications, attract wide attention in the national, local, and trade media.
Thousands of copies of Public Citizen's reports have been sold or distributed to members of the public, industry, government and citizen groups.
Since furnishing these documents "can be considered as l
primarily benefitting the public," we request a complete waiver l
of any costs you might incur in processing these records or I
making copies for us under the provisions of 10 C.F.R.
S 9 and 14(a).
If you rule otherwise, please notify us before filling the request.
1 Nothing in this request should be considered a request for the private records of any specific individual.
Hence, no l
provisions of the Privacy Act should be deemed applicable.
l If all or any parts of this request are denied, please cite the specific exemptions (s) on which you rely in refusing to i
release the doeurents.
1 Further, since the Freedom of Information Act provides that i
if only portions of a file are exempt from release, the remainder must be released, we request that we be provided with all non-exempt portions which are reasonably segregable.
Of course, we reserve our right to appeal the withholding or deletion of any information.
I l
,?
As provided in the Freedom of Information Act, we will expect to receive the requested records or a final determination within ten working days.
If your e#' ice is unable to fully respond to this request in that time, please send us a written estimate of when the response will be completed.
If you have any questions about this request, please telephone me at (202) 546-4996.
Thank you for your help.
